This is a rather great deal, and we’re not sure how much stock is available so if you are interested, better jump on it.

US retailer Best Buy is offering a pretty good deal on various games currency/credit cards. If you buy two cards of the same amount, you get the second one for 20 percent off.

So, for instance, you would get two $50 Steam Credit cards for $90 instead of $100. With the Steam Summer Sale reportedly starting today, this is a good time to top-up your wallet. The same can be done with Xbox or PSN credit.

The offer is valid until Saturday, and only on physical cards. Check the link to see the full list of available cards.

Overwatch releasing a day early in the US, but servers go live on schedule

Overwatch officially releases May 24 worldwide. The Blizzard shooter will be dispatched one day early in the US, though, according to listings by multiple retailers in the country.

Amazon is the only place that shows a notice reflecting this change. Best Buy and Gamestop don’t, but they have the game listed as a Monday, May 23 release nonetheless.

This is true for all platforms, including the collector’s edition. A few NeoGAF users have also reported the change in delivery times for their pre-orders.

This does not appear to be the case for the the UK, unfortunately, though things could change soon.

Servers will still go live on Tuesday, May 24, so getting the disc early will get your all ready for launch, downloading patches and the like.

Oculus Rift goes on sale at Best Buy this Saturday while many still wait on pre-orders

That is, if they live next to one of the 48 Best Buy stores which will stock a small number of the virtual reality headset on May 7.

Rift will also be available online from Microsoft and Amazon, starting May 6 at 9am PT/12pm ET. Quantities will be extremely limited while Oculus “catches up in pre-orders.”

“We know that many pre-order customers are still waiting for their Rifts, so we’re offering those customers a chance to purchase Rift from retail instead – while keeping their pre-order benefits, like the EVE: Valkyrie Founder’s Pack and priority status for Touch pre-orders,” said the company on its blog.

“Starting May 6th, if you’re interested, simply go to your order status and let us know you’ve purchased a Rift at retail, and we’ll cancel your pre-order. Your EVE: Valkyrie entitlement will appear in your order history.”

While this is a pain for those who continue to wait on the headset, the company has to fulfill the retail contracts it set up. Still, this olive branch of sorts isn’t much unless folks like fighting others to grab a Rift off the shelf in time.

The Rift consumer model started shipping on March 28, but many customers are still waiting. Oculus said the delay was due to a component shortage after the influx of day-one orders.

The PlayStation TV usually retails at around $60, and this is the cheapest we’ve ever seen it. You can use the device to play PS4 games via Remote Play, play some PS Vita games, or use PlayStation Now to stream games to your TV.

The bundle offered comes only with the console, with no additional games.

When you purchase either Fallout 4, Tomb Raider or Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, you will save $25 on one of these games: Madden NFL 16, FIFA 16, GTA 5, Halo 5: Guardians or Forza Motorsport 6. Not a bad deal, really, especially when Black Ops 3 is on sale for $39.99.

You can also grab Madden 16 and FIFA 16 for $29.99 each if you don’t want the deal listed above. WWE 2K16 and other titles are also on offer for $29.99 each. Wolfenstein: The New Order, The Evil Within, Evolve, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Far Cry 4 and others are on sale from $7.99 to $14.99 each.

Bloodborne, Final Fantasy: Type-0 HD, Until Dawn and other PS4 titles can be bought for $19.99 each,

Like every other retailer, the store is also offering the 500GB PS4 and Xbox One console bundles for Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and Gears of War Ultimate Edition for $299. It too is also offering the $50 off on all Xbox One consoles deal. The Star Wars: Battlefront PS4 500GB bundle which comes with a PS Plus sub is $350.

Customers can also buy three months worth of Xbox Live Gold or PlayStation Plus for $4.99 when they purchase new releases such as Fallout 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider or others. Nintendo eShop gift cards are also 15% off.

Like GameStop, Best Buy also has the DualShock 4 controller on sale for $39.99 but the best deal on Xbox One controllers so far goes to the retailer, as it is also on sale for $39.99. You can save $25 off other Xbox One controllers such as the Halo 5: Guardians Controller.

Which is why retailers have to come up with their own.

There are only two versions available for Fallout 4; the standard and the collector’s edition. You can’t buy the collector’s edition any more, so that leaves just one SKU of the game available everywhere.

Of course, each retailer wants to make sure it gets a healthy number of pre-orders for such a highly-anticipated game. But because there are no pre-order skins or DLC like with other games, they need to get creative.

That’s exactly what Best Buy’s done. The US retailer is offering a Fallout Gold Bundle – which comes with the base game and a season pass – for $85, saving you $5 if you were to buy each separately. But, Best Buy will throw in something extra; a pair of Vault Boy-branded socks.

No, really, take a look.

Fallout 4 is out November 10 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

http://www.vg247.com/2015/01/24/best-buy-majoras-mask-new-3ds-xl/#respondSat, 24 Jan 2015 15:27:36 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=509278Multiple sources reported overnight Best Buy has cancelled some pre-orders for the Limited Edition Majora’s Mask New 3DS XL. As of press time, it appears to only affect those who pre-ordered more than one system.

Only one system was allotted per order, so the cancellation notices were sent out to comply with the restriction. Those who ordered more than one unit received an email stating their initial order had been reduced to one unit.

This includes customers who ordered more than one of the Majora’s Mask New 3DS XL using the same credit card or shipping address, regardless of whether the multiple units were ordered for other members of the household.

With quantities limited for the system, as is the case with many special editions, many retailers opt for the “one per customer” limit giving all customers a fair chance, so this is nothing new on Best Buy’s part.

To compensate for the order reduction, Best Buy offered a $50 credit code in the email, which customers could use on their next purchase; however, some customers have reported the $50 compensation credit was not included in their cancellation email.

The game has appeared on a few retail sites for Microsoft’s console, and Blizzard has since responded.

Following a reader’s tip, Eurogamer checked out the Argos online store, where Diablo 3 Xbox One is listed for £62.99. It followed a now-removed listing for the game on Best Buy Canada’s store.

Responding to the matter, Blizzard said in a statement, “One of our goals is to bring Diablo 3 to as many players as possible, but we don’t have any other platform announcements to share at this time.”

That’s not a ‘no.’ But this could be a slip-up. We’ll keep an eye on it for the time being.

A Best Buy representative contacted VG247 to issue a correction; the quote originally supplied to Reuters concerned one New York store, not to Best Buy as a whole. The original source article has been corrected in the interim. No comment was offered regarding other stores or Best Buy’s PS4 stock in general.

Original article:

Best Buy has sold through most of its PlayStation 4 inventory in North America, although it’s expecting a new shipment soon.

Speaking to Reuters, Best Buy CEO Hubert Joly said the company had “pretty much run out” of PS4 units already.

“We will get new inventory next week. It’s a great launch, there is no doubt about that,” he added.

http://www.vg247.com/2013/08/08/ps4-ps-vita-bundle-rumours-we-ask-the-retailers/#commentsThu, 08 Aug 2013 15:40:27 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=396333PS4 and PS Vita bundle rumours dropped last week, so VG247’s Dave Cook and Steph Nunneley have called their local retailers to see if there’s any truth to the matter.

Basically, an anonymous source of Machinima said that Sony is bundling both consoles together for around $500, and that the package will launch by the end of the year.

We decided to ask our local game shops to see if they had heard anything regarding the bundle, just to see if there was any truth to what we’d heard.

Over in the States, Steph contacted her local GameStop first and asked them if a PS4 and PS Vita bundle was on the cards.

A sales rep replied, “Oh no. That is two completely different systems. That would be getting about $700.00 worth of stuff. So for $700.00 to be knocked down to $400.00 I don’t think that’s going to happen.

“If they are going to bundle it, it won’t be for $400.00. I have not heard anything about that, I know there will be a lot of cross-play between the Vita and the PS4 and I know that you will be able to use your Vita as a second controller for the PlayStation 4 [if game is programmed for it according to Sony – SNN].

“So while it’s not entirely unfathomable that it would happen we just havn’t been given anything on it. If they definitely did that, like I said the price would be around the $600-700 area.

“However if [you are] wanting to get a PS4 I recommend getting into a Gamestop as soon as possible to pre-order because we don’t know when they are going to be shutting off this SKU again.

“They have shut off reservations of PS4 twice now and they re-opened it last Saturday which was when I finally got the chance to pre-order my own. They are saying that it could be any day now that they shut if off again.”

Steph then tried another GameStop store nearby and was told by an employee that there was no PS4/PS Vita bundle on their system and, “as far as I have heard from corporate,” there is to be no new PS4 bundles until after the current packages have launched.

Meanwhile here in Scotland, I called my local branch of HMV and was told by an employee, “We don’t have any information on that yet. It probably won’t be until a lot closer to the time until a price has been released and stuff.”

I then asked if the bundle was actually a thing and he replied, “I’ve not heard anything, I’ve probably heard as much as you – that there probably will be a bundle but as far as us having it in the show I haven’t heard anything.”

Defeated, I called my local GAME store and asked the same question. Their staffer told me, “Not that I’m aware of. The only bundle we’ve been told about is the one exclusive to us that comes with the PS4 itself, Killzone special edition and Driveclub special edition. It also comes with PlayStation Plus. That’s the only one I’ve heard of, I’ve not heard anything being bundled with a Vita.”

I then asked if this was something I should keep an eye on the GAME website for, and he replied, “I’d keep an eye on it but I’ll be perfectly honest; with the amount of solus Vitas that Sony has still got – and the fact that you can already buy it solus – I don’t know why they would bundle [PS4] with a Vita.

“If anything it would be re-bundled again with a PlayStation Eye – and that’s me just giving pure guesswork. If I were Sony I’d bundle it with the PlayStation Eye instead of Vita. Maybe it’s something they’ve still to announce as they’ve still to announce a release date.”

Together we also tried Best Buy, ASDA, Tesco and Toys ‘R Us. I largely got kind old ladies who sounded lovely but couldn’t tell me what was going on, while Steph hit a brick wall over the pond. In most cases however, stores had either stopped PS4 pre-orders or were close to pulling the plug on them.

Either way, it seems like retailers at shop level haven’t heard of this fabled bundle. We’re since taken this higher and are still waiting on a response, although in my experience it’s unlikely that chains will disclose anything they’re not supposed to.

We’ll let you know if they do however, but for now, what do you make of the bundle rumour? Let us know below.

The company will use the sites to promote the next-gen console ahead of its November launch.

GI.biz reports that the pop-up stores will showcase many Microsoft products, including Xbox One, Xbox 360, Windows 8, and Windows Surface, among others.

Launching between June and September, there will be 500 stores opened in the US and 105 in Canada.

In a statement, CMO and CFO of Microsoft’s Windows division Tami Reller said, “The Windows Store offers a large-scale, hands-on customer experience that will show customers how Windows and Microsoft devices and services can make it easier for them to work and play.”

What do you make of this plan? Is it a good step? Let us know below.

The offer applies to physical Gold cards, with Amazon digital codes going for $40 and Best Buy having already sold out, reports Joystiq. Three-month Gold memberships are going for $21 on Amazon but stay at the full price of $25 at Best Buy, which is offering physical Halo 4 and Black Ops 2 12-month Gold membership cards for the $35 sale price, evening it out for some.

As noted by Dealzon, the 250GB Skyrim and Forza and 4GB with Kinect bundles are both now $50 cheaper than RRP at GameStop, Amazon and Best Buy, with the latter two offering free shipping for extra thrift.

The price cut has not been officially detailed, but Kotaku‘s sources suggest it will hold through January at GameStop at the very least.
